What to Do When a Backyard Bonfire Results in Fire Damage in Newton, IA

You’re celebrating Memorial Day weekend and the return of beautiful summer weather with a backyard bonfire. As you and your family enjoy the evening, a flaming log somehow jumps from the roaring fire and rolls into a nearby shed! Before you know it, the shed is in flames and you’re rushing to get the hose to put the fire out. Once the flames have been extinguished you find that the shed and the items inside have been damaged. Where in Newton, IA can you find fire damage restoration?

Fire damage isn’t just caused by the flames of the fire. The flames of the fire cause smoke and soot along with charring to wood, furniture, and the structure. Depending on how deep the charring goes the items or structure may be saved. It could be a surface charring where the top layer of the material is black and discolored. The charring could go through the material completely making it so the material can’t be saved and has to be replaced. The water used to extinguish the fire can mix with the smoke and soot to create a paste that causes secondary damage to the items that it covers. This sludge has to be removed quickly or you run the risk of those items becoming unsalvageable.
